After Sargent, at the Luxembourg gardens. Painting

Andrea Caldarise is a painter and collaborator inspired by exploring memories and happenstance conversations. Public spaces are visceral, storied environments—Caldarise's artwork explores the psychological connection between landscapes and people. The lived experiences, imagined moments, and collective memory of a place establish the groundwork for her paintings. Each painting is a singular place experience, inspired by referencing the people, emotions, sights, and textures of a cityscape. Using light, color, and mark-making, the compositions illustrate the perceived reality of a physical place by examining the moments within. Working through experiences and collective memories Caldarise's art practice explores the commonplace and extraordinary narratives in our environment.
